Finding the right golf club shaft to fit your play style can be challenging. Thankfully, the True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts are a great quality choice for many different types of golfers. So, let’s talk about which players can benefit most from the Dynamic Gold X100 shafts.
The Dynamic Gold X100 shafts weigh 130 grams (4.59 oz) and are extra stiff to benefit golfers with a high swing speed. They provide low spin and low trajectory to allow maximum control of the ball throughout the shot.
This article will discuss what you can expect with Dynamic Gold X100 shafts and how they compare to similar shafts.
What Players Do the Dynamic Gold X100’s Weight Suit?
Dynamic Gold X100’s weight suits players with high swing speeds or players looking to increase their swing speed. Since these shafts are on the heavier side, they may slow down players who are used to lightweight shafts.
Shaft weight can affect a player’s swing speed. How it affects your speed will depend on your current swing speed and the weight you are used to playing with. Moving to a higher shaft weight can slow down your swing if you already swing fast and are used to a lower weight. This is because a heavier weight can make you work harder to swing.
You may not think that just a few grams would change your swing, but it can slow you down. The extra strength and energy you need to move something heavier will affect your swing speed. While this may mean that your swing slows down, it can be something you overcome with time and practice.
If you have a moderate swing speed, the weight of the Dynamic Gold X100 shafts can help boost your speed. The weight can help you come down a little harder, which produces a slightly faster swing. Combined with the extra stiff flex of these shafts, high and moderate swing speed players can benefit from using them.
Dynamic Gold X100 Weight Compared To Other Shafts
The Dynamic Gold X100s weigh 130 grams (4.59 oz) which is a little heavy for a shaft. The Dynamic Gold S300s also weigh 130 grams (4.59 oz), but they also offer a stiff flex instead of the extra stiff flex of the X100 shafts. The S300 shafts are better for those with swing speeds a little slower than the X100s require but don’t mind the weight.
If you prefer something a little heavier than the X100 shafts, you may benefit from the S400s instead. They weigh 134 grams (4.73 oz) and are slightly heavier than the other Dynamic Gold options. The S400s are also stiff rather than extra stiff. So, those with slightly less swing speed will benefit from these, though the high weight can help you swing a little faster.
The lightest options that Dynamic Gold offers are the S200 and R300 shafts. The X200 are stiff, while the R300 shafts are regular flex. Both weigh 127 grams (4.48 oz) and offer benefits for those who don’t have the fastest swing speed but like a lightweight shaft. The S200 shafts are better for those with slightly faster swings than the R300 shafts.
Final Thoughts
Choosing new shafts for your clubs can be challenging, and the weight of the shaft can make a huge difference in how well they work for you. The X100 shafts are great for golfers with the highest possible swing speed, but those with a slightly lower speed can benefit from the heavyweight.
